Your home is your castle … though sometimes it can feel a little crammed. If your lodgings seem Lilliputian, there are ways to get the most out of the space you have. Paula Henry of Baltimore’s Simply Put Interiors tells you how to make less seem more.
I grew up in a small row house. To create the illusion of space, my Mom installed an oversized mirror against one wall. It did seem to make the space larger. What other tricks of the eye might you recommend?
Raise the rods on your window treatments to bring the eye up and make the ceilings feel higher. You can also extend the width of your windows by installing your hardware beyond the sides of the molding. When the window treatment is open, your entire window can be revealed, making it and the room both seem larger and much more light will come in.
